Today is Marshall's Spiritual Birthday. That means that about 15 years ago when he was 4 or 5 years old he accepted Christ into his heart as His Savior. We didn't know the exact day it happened, but he remembered it was in April, so he picked the 10th day of April to celebrate it. I remember when he was baptised (he was around 10 years old I think) in the lake he had to give his testimony first - that is the story of how he was saved. He told it like he always did: "Well, I got saved by a trash can." I don't remember if he added anything to that. :-) Does anyone remember his baptism? I just remember it being cold and Marshall being small and skinny, of course. But he was so happy!
On November 22, 2006, Marshall understood more than ever before the importance of that little prayer he made by the trash can in his room when he was a little boy. He finally got to meet the God he swore to follow! And God said to him, "Well, done, good and faithful servant! Come and share your master's happiness!"
